[FTC]: Functioning LEDs?

[skatefriday]

We have functioning LEDs this year. A writeup of how we accomplished this is here:

The lights will pulse teal (our team color before and after the match,
purely decorative). During the match they indicate the direction the
drivetrain is pointing (it's reversible). The NXT is also keeping a
match timer and they will start flashing yellow at the beginning of
the end game and flashing red with 10 seconds left. I thought the
timer might be inaccurate, but it's surprisingly correct.

There's various stuff we do in autonomous, mostly for debugging
as well.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been wanting to do this for some time, but never figured out how to do it. Is there a wiring diagram/parts list?

After the season is over I'll see about teaching our electronics lead how to use Eagle and put up a schematic.

Parts are simply an ATmega328 burned with an Arduino bootloader, the Hitechnic Protoboard, an addressable LED strip (available from Adafruit or Sparkfun), a 5v voltage regulation circuit built around a LM7805 with heatsink, a couple of small breadboards, and miscellaneous hookup wire.
